Hi folks!
My name is Gijs, (also active under the username:Gijs) since december 2012 I’ve been working for Helian Polymers testing fresh batches of PLA filament, best job ever :-P
We’ve developed a PLA/PHA compound to counteract the brittle characteristic of PLA and make it more tough. We’ve been testing our material extensively for the past 4 months in our ‘printlab’. We use 3 Ultimakers which basicly print nonstop with our material. We like to try all kinds of tricky prints but also develop our own models whenever we have a bit of time.
Here are some pictures of our print results:

This is our printlab with lots of filament and even more printed objects.
Helian Polymers is a trading company specialized in masterbatches and additives for plastics. This means we have access to an endless pallet of colors and can experiment with lots of different materials and additives. At the moment our main focus is to get our line of PLA/PHA filament into the market in various colors. However we keep experimenting and developing new materials such as, biopolycarbonate filament and soluable filaments.
If you’re interested in our PLA/PHA filament, you’re welcome to visit our webshop at www.colorfabb.com and order yourself a fabulous 0,75kg spool of filament!
Cheers,
Gijs
